🌱 Looking for an Economical Fall Cover Crop?

Did you know that local hobby farms and small-scale producers often purchase our organic food-grade rye to use as fall cover crop seed? 🌾

Fall rye is a great option for helping protect your soil over winter while adding valuable green manure when worked back into the soil in spring.

And the best part? It’s an economical way to get a cover crop growing!

Although our products are sold as food, we're always happy to help farmers and growers make an informed choice. We can provide germination rates and discuss whether our rye is suitable for your seeding needs.

🍁 Thinking about planting a cover crop? Give us a call or send us a message. We're happy to help!

🌱 Are Canadian Organic Crops Sprayed with Roundup? 🍁

No! Synthetic herbicides like Roundup and glyphosate are prohibited under Canadian Organic Standards. 🚫

So, what makes certified organic farming different?

🌾 No Synthetic Herbicides or Pesticides
Organic crop production follows strict rules that prohibit synthetic herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers, along with genetic engineering and other prohibited practices.

🌱 Buffer Zones
Organic farmers use buffer zones and other measures to help protect their crops from potential contamination from neighbouring conventional fields.

🔍 Annual Inspections
Organic farms and processing facilities are inspected annually to verify that they meet Canadian Organic Standards.

💚 At Fieldstone Organics, we're proud to work with certified organic Canadian farmers who are committed to growing food the organic way.

When shopping, look for the Canada Organic logo to help identify certified organic products.

🌾 Fresh from the Kitchen . . . Triticale Biscuits! 🧈

Looking for a simple way to bring more whole grains into your kitchen? These homemade triticale biscuits are a great place to start!

Triticale is a unique grain that combines wheat and rye, bringing its own distinctive character to whole grain baking. Pair it with a little butter and buttermilk, and you have delicious biscuits ready to serve alongside a hearty soup, stew or your favourite family meal. 😋

🥣 Triticale Biscuits Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole grain triticale flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp white sugar
¾ tsp salt
¼ cup cold butter
1 cup buttermilk

Directions

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Mix the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole grain triticale flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
Cut in the butter. Using two knives or a pastry blender, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the buttermilk. Stir until the dough is just moistened. Avoid overmixing!
Knead gently. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 8–10 times.
Roll and cut. Roll the dough to about ¾ inch thick. Cut into biscuits using a 2½-inch round cutter. Gently reroll any scraps to make more biscuits.
Bake! Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and bake until golden and cooked through. (Start checking around 10–15 minutes.)

Serve warm with butter, alongside a bowl of homemade soup, or as part of your next family dinner. ❤️

🌾 Getting to Know Triticale – The Best of Wheat and Rye!

Did you know triticale was developed by crossing wheat and rye? First bred in the late 1800s, it was designed to combine wheat’s qualities with rye’s hardiness and ability to grow in challenging conditions.

🌱 What makes triticale special?

Triticale has some unique qualities of its own:

Plant-based protein: Often higher in protein than wheat, depending on the variety.
Good source of fibre: Plus vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins, iron and zinc.
A distinctive flavour: A nutty taste and pleasantly chewy texture make it a great addition to your whole grain pantry.
Organic and non-GMO: A natural choice for those looking for organic whole grains.

🍞 How can you use it?

Whole grain triticale can be milled into flour for bread, biscuits and cookies. Try adding it to porridge, breakfast cereal or homemade muesli for something a little different.

Its flavour works particularly well in multigrain baking, adding variety to your usual wheat-based recipes.

🌱 Planting the FallSeeds for Next Year! 🌾

Our local farmers are busy seeding their fall spelt! 🚜

The goal is to give these young plants time to get established using the last few weeks of fall sunshine and rain. ☀️🌧️

Hopefully, a blanket of snow will help insulate and protect the plants through winter. ❄️ When spring arrives, they’ll benefit from the moisture released by melting snow and get a head start on the weeds! 🌱

While this year’s harvest winds down, the work for next year’s crop is already underway!

🌾 How Clean Is Your Grain ❓

If you're part of any Freshly Milled Flour community, you've probably seen the photos...

Tiny stones ~ Bits of straw ~ Chaff ~ Clay balls ~ W**d seeds.

The truth is, all of these are completely normal when grain comes straight from the field via the combine. Harvested grain isn't ready to go straight into your home mill.

At Fieldstone, we believe you shouldn't have to sort through your grain before baking.

That's why every batch goes through an extensive cleaning process using multiple pieces of specialized equipment, including:
✔️ Sizing screens
✔️ Shaker gravity tables
✔️ Powerful magnets
✔️ De-hullers
✔️ Vacuum cleaning systems
✔️ De-stoning equipment
✔️ High-tech optical colour sorting

And that's before our rigorous quality control inspections.

The result? We remove 99.9% of impurities, so you can mill with confidence.

Because the last thing we want is for a hidden stone to damage your mill, an unexpected contaminant to crack a tooth, or impurities to affect the flavour and quality of your baking.

Clean grain isn't just about appearance, it's about protecting your equipment, your family, and the food you're proud to bake.

That's the Fieldstone difference. 🌾❤️

🍂🦃 As we head into Thanksgiving weekend, let’s remember it’s not just about turkey dinners and pumpkin pie (though we won’t be skipping those! 😉).

It’s also a time to:
🌾 Appreciate our hardworking farmers who make the feast possible
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Gather with family and friends (and maybe argue over who makes the best stuffing)
🍁 Pause to give thanks for the little things . . . fall colours, crisp air, and cozy moments

Whatever’s on your plate this weekend, may it be full of gratitude (and maybe a second helping of pie). 🥧✨

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! 🍂🦃
